10 Tips for Making the Most of the International Careers Networking NightThis event happens once every spring and is for ANYONE who wants to explore international career paths! Join us and

mingle with impressive Emory alumni and professionals whose works are international in nature.

1. When you arrive, you’ll receive a Guest Directory to review short biographies and photos of our invited guests. Give

yourself extra time by arriving early. We will start with a brief Welcome address.

2. Immediately following the Welcome address, it’s time to mingle! Our guests will be positioned in different areas of the

room. This is NOT a career fair, so guests will be mingling with students ­ not positioned behind tables.  The “mixer” format is

a lot of fun and makes networking less intimidating and more enjoyable for everyone!

3. Networking is nothing more than conversation between two people getting to know one another. Your STRATEGY is this:

simply take an interest in your conversation partner! Introduce yourself with a smile and a firm handshake, then share your

name and bits of information you think your listener might like to know about you (i.e. year in school, academic background,

and potential career interests). But your main focus will be getting to know THEM.

4. If you’re still nervous, try watching others to see how they approach conversation. It’s okay to approach a student or group

of students and a professional who are already talking. Walk up at a polite distance, make eye contact, listen, and await a

verbal or nonverbal cue to join in. You will benefit from hearing others’ conversations ­ don’t wait in a single file line for your

turn. Think CIRCLE! When someone makes eye contact, that’s your opportunity to politely break in and introduce yourself.

Similarly, you can encourage others who might be shy to join in on YOUR discussions.

5. Think of what questions you’d like to have answered. Here are some examples:

How did you get interested in this area of International work? What were you studying as an undergraduate?

What personality traits and skills are critical for success in this area? What training or education is required?

What’s your average day or week like? What do you enjoy most/least about your work?

Can you suggest ways to gain experience to be more competitive for jobs/internships? Do you know someone else I

should talk to outside of this event?

6. Keep an OPEN MIND ­ you will be surprised at some of the unexpected connections you’ll make with people who do not

work for organizations on your “hot list”. If you spot someone standing alone, say hello and let them know how much you

appreciate their visit to Emory. You will be surprised at some of the less­obvious connections that exist between you, since

many of our guests have worked in different environments and have multifaceted career paths and interests. Almost anyone

can potentially introduce you to a colleague (potentially outside of this event) who shares your interests ­ if you only ask!

7. Don’t spend all of your time talking to one person. It’s a good goal to try to speak with 3­5 people at the event. Stretch

your comfort zone: networking is one of the most effective tools in educating yourself about career options and finding the

right fit in your next job, internship, volunteer role or gap year experience!

8. FOLLOW UP ETIQUETTE: Before leaving a conversation, it’s customary to ask each guest for a business card. This is

very important, because you should plan to send a follow­up email as a way of saying thank you to those you spoke with.

This forms a lasting impression and smooths the way for future contact. Building relationships is NOT a “one and done” ­ if

you want to talk further, take the initiative to reach out again after the event, and into the future!

9. Our event organizers strive to attract a diverse group of participants. Occasionally, guests who planned to come have

last­minute obligations that prevent them doing so. Let us know if there’s someone you missed and we will do our best to

assist you in contacting them!

10. Thanks for coming ­ enjoy yourself, and have some great conversations!
